The EBCB is fantasic, doubly so on a cold Saturday morning when you've just surveyed the mess that's been made of the bus station. That egg has a look of Zaha Hadid, you could imagine a fabulously bestowed sports complex or arts centre with those proportions. The chips are big but not fat, solid but not without flamboyance, they are the Andy Carroll of chips. The beans and the bacon balance each other perfectly, happy to serve as backdrops for the other two elements, quiet, unfussy, simply present.

Cafe Kozzy is just across the road from the previously reviewed Becks - though Becks has changed, it looks like this now...

Anyway, back to the Kozzy. Fancy menus. Good.

I ordered in slightly the wrong order. I love these little ordering slips and the codes contained therein. I'll always think of Baked Beans as being in Bflat from now on.

Always nice to get to choose your strength with the teabag. And to have somewhere to put it. Classic.

And the ebcb is magnificent. Huge. It's hard to convey just how big these plates are. They're big like the seas on Mars are big. You know, big.

Maybe this view will help convery it. For a sense of perspective, that mug at the back, that mug is twice the height of a London bus. The chips are that lovely pale, crunchy variety, starchy arrows aimed at your heart, the bacon is rich and pink like the petals on a meat rose, the beans orange like Martian blood, the egg as white and pure as virginal linen. All over nice.

Again, it's been a while. Sorry. I've forgotten how to do this. The First Step is a must though, I've been coming every week or so for a few months and it's a brilliant place.

I think the best thing is the enormity of the plates. Hugely, vastly generous. So the beans have got all that room to spread out and relax. You get a layer of beans that's only one bean thick, like a sort of delicious graphene.

And look at these brilliant chips. Crisp and fluffy. Existing as two states of matter at the same time. Genius.

The tapestry menus are a nice touch too.

They get very busy at lunchtimes and are masters of table maximisation. They use these reserved signs to keep tables free and ready for deployment when needed. If you're a regular you might get granted permission to sit at one of these tables. That's a special moment.

This is a great place. I'm very lucky to be a regular here. It's a friendly, tasty place. What more could you want?
